Brother 1034D Review Nov 19, 2009
Took me some time to get around to it, but once I got it out of the box it was easy peasy... The 2 CDs were quite inspiring and helpful. Threading was intimidating, at first, but that is only temporary. It's easier than I thought.

Would recommend it as a first machine as there are so many uses for it, and it's EASY to learn on.

EASY to use! Nov 06, 2009
Bottom line... This serger is easy to use! I was scared to death by all the talk of how hard sergers are to thread. This one is as close to idiot proof as you can get! The price isn't half bad either :)

Uh, No Oct 21, 2009
I was looking to buy my very first serger after all these years. I went with the Brother 1034D serger based on all the positive reviews. Boy was I mistaken. After I watched the demo (which ran fine on my Vista x64) and read the instructions I set it up and tried it out. The first thing I noticed was that the machine's motor ran rough and felt and sounded really poorly made. That is a big strike for me. The next thing that I noticed was how awkward the placement of the controls were. They were not intuitive to use if you have ever used a regular sewing machine before. In a nutshell, I didn't like the feel of it, I didn't enjoy using it and I didn't think it would last very long before breaking down. I returned it the same day I received it. I know this is a budget serger but even so I was quite underwhelmed and will be looking for a different brand.

Great product especially for the price! Oct 19, 2009
I have a Brother embroidery machine and love it, so after shopping several sewing shops and retailers, decided to order the Brother online. I couldn't beat the price or reviews. The reviews are right. It arrives threaded w/ color thread to show you how to thread it. I re-threaded the machine and it worked perfect first time. Very easy to thread. I have used it now for a few weeks and my projects look so much more professional! Just love it!

No fear serger! Oct 17, 2009
I have only been sewing about a year. I have beautiful Brother Innovis 1200 for my sewing machine, but I really wanted to to try a serger and couldn't justify spending the cash on a serger like I did my sewing machine. I love my Brother and trust their products. After reading many of the reviews on the 1034D I went for it. Don't get me wrong - I was scared. I heard stories about how hard it is to use sergers and how difficult they are to thread. Like other reviewers, I unpacked it, looked over the manual, watched all the videos and got going. I even took some extra pictures of it threaded so I had them for reference for when I needed to thread it. I felt comfortable with the machine in a couple of hours. I also used my label maker to label the thread paths and side controls to make it more user friendly for me. I started my first project (simple pillow cases) and the sample thread broke. I took all the thread out and rethreaded it with my own thread. It took me just a few minutes to do it the first time. I thought, why do people make such a big deal out of this? My only suggestion is for Brother to improve the video so there are closer shots showing the detailed areas when threading and the manual could be better, but both are ok and not so bad they will stop you. Enjoy!
